Up until 1907 such a thing as state aid to the public schools of South Carolina was unheard of. Each coun ty had to support its own schools out of the three mill constitutional tax, poll tax, dog tax and the district spe cial tax. The legislature in 1907, to encourage the building up of eollcient high schools made an appropriation. In order to secure the aid from the state the schools had to attain a cer tain standard of effillency. Only the smaller towns and rural districts were entitled to the benefits of this act. The benefits derived from this now provision were so keenly marked that there has been a gradual devel opment in the system. . The general assembly in 1909 wishing to extend its assistance to the weak schools of the state passed the term exteqsipu or Garris act. The aid from the state in every respect is based on self help. The schools which were entitled to i)articipate in this fund were schools who, with the regular funds could not run flve months and who vote a spec cmal tax of two mills or more. They would receive from the state a suni elual to the tax ralsed not to exceed $100 to any district. This has lj)d(1 the schools of L.aurens county a great deal. It has stimulated tho voting ol more, tax and helped to give the boys and girls in the rural district a school term of two months longer. This y ir Laurens county reccived $2,556.151 under the term extension act. Thls was distributed ziuong thirty school, as follows: Name of Dist. No. of Dist.

The purpose of the legislature has been to reach the schools of the rural districts. There Were som)e schools fin thle rural dis tricts who had over fifty pupils and ought to have two teachers. In or decr to encourage the employment of two teachers thme legislature has taken another step,. andl In my oiniionl, the most liportant step) of ail. viz.-the passage of the Rural Graded School Act. The two sections of the act that contain the requirements are as fol lows: S'ec. 2. Whmen any rural district In South Carolina shall levy and collect a sp~ecial school tax of not less than four (4) mills, and when a school ini such dlistrict employs two certifIed teachers for a school term of not less than six months, and w~hen such school huas an1 enrollment of not fewer than fIfty pupils and an average daily at tendance for tihe session of not fewer than tiirty pupils, and when such school is taught in a comfortable andl sanitary building provIdled with the minImum equipment plrescribed by the State Hoard of Education, and1( when it uses a course of study and classifI catIon approvedl by the State lloardl of Education, it shall bue entitled to re ceIve State aId under this Act to thme amount of $200.00 per year. Sec. 3. When any rural school (11s trlct in South Carolina shall levy and collect a special school tax of not less than four- (.1) mills, and when such school employs three or more certhiled teachers for a school term of not less than seven months, and when such school has an annual enrollment of not fewer than seventy-five pupils and aln average daily attendance for the session of not fewer than forty pupils, and whmen such school is taught in a comfortable and sanitary building plrovided with the minimum equipment prescribed by the State Board of Education, and when it us es a course of study and, classification approved by the State Board of I~duca tion, it shall be entitled to receive State aid under this Act to the amount of $300.00 per year, There are only nine schools in our county who received the aid this yea. Next year there will be more, the th~st ab.l ithe applications this were paid will stifnulate othe' meet the euirenmens for
